It comes with drivers distributed, inanely enough, as a patch for a specific kernel, so prepare for some hand-patching. Other than that, it works. Love answering myself :) -Federico >Hello Linux-PPCers, > I have a quick one: I am looking at the Arabella kernel on the >MPC8272ADS, which I am planning to use as a prototyping platform while >we get to figure out a BSP for our custom board. > > Now, I have an Epson card on hand (13806) which I know to be working >on ppc, and which has drivers as a kernel patch for 2.4.21, and I have a >radeon card on hand which I used to like because of its vesa 2.0 >compliance.
